Guest friendly or friendly guest?
by Suk Psycho ~ February 6th, 2010. Filed under: Hotels, Reader Submission.Language barrier is a real problem in Thailand. And Thai people are so much used to receive Farangs strange requests that sometimes they just answer to what they think you want to say, without looking further.
Here is what happened to reader Shiva1961:
“I wrote to the Omni to check that it was guest friendly and this was their reply:
‘In fact, some are friendly but some is not. In Omni have mix client from many country upon the season. If you discussion to choose us to take care you. We will try the best for you. We hope you will feel as you stay in your home.’
I couldnt figure out what they were saying till some dim bulb finally lit in my head…they thought i was asking about whether the other guests were friendly or not!!! ….“

@ Shiva1961: the best question to ask is “Can I bring a guest in the room for free or do you charge?”
